Finding Us Time

Mell Eight

Summary

Rill and Tavi have been in a relationship for fifteen years, ten of which as a happily married couple. Rill is an extremely accomplished swordsman and Tavi a Master Wizard, so their duties for the crown and the Wizard's Tower take up much of their day. Eking out time to be together is therefore always a challenge, one they embrace wholeheartedly. Except, despite all their careful attempts, their plans somehow always get derailed.
When they're sent out on a retrieval mission to obtain a mysterious artifact and then invited to a fancy dinner later that evening, they are forced to rearrange their plans yet again. They soon learn the artifact is not what it seems, and neither is the dinner, and dealing with the ensuing problems must come first. Finding time might just be impossible, no matter how hard Rill and Tavi try.

Snowed in with Elvis

Drew Hunt

After moping around the flat for months following an ugly breakup, Stuart "Mouse" Little was persuaded to go out and start living again. A night spent in a country hotel in the wilds of the North Yorkshire moors sounded like the perfect first step. The fact there would be a performance by an Elvis impersonator would be icing on the cake.


Stu is immediately captivated by the impersonator as he struts his stuff on stage, dressed head to toe in black leather. The man sings like Elvis, moves like Elvis, looks like Elvis, he even speaks like Elvis. After a chance meeting with "Elvis" during a break, Stu learns that Garret "Spider" Webb is originally from Texas and possibly even more attractive close up.


Visions of the sexy American keep Stu from sleep. In hopes that a mug of hot chocolate will help, Stu heads downstairs and discovers that the heavy snow that was falling all evening has stranded many people without reservations, including Spider. Stepping outside of his comfort zone, Stu impulsively offers to share his room with the handsome singer.


Will the weekend be a case of "Heartbreak Hotel" for Mouse and Spider or will they find they "Can't Help Falling in Love?"

The Ghost of The Pannell Witch -...

Melissa Manners

A collection of spooky tales to invade the mind and explore the legend of the Ghost of The Pannell Witch. 
Each story in this collection takes the reader on a deep dive into one of the many versions of the legend of Mary Pannell, who was executed for witchcraft in the small town of Kippax, West Yorkshire, in 1603. Her ghost is said to haunt the woods on the hill that to this day bear her name. 
Was she the town’s wise woman, providing herbal remedies to its residents? Like many women executed for witchcraft in the 17th century, she may have been betrayed by her own friends and neighbours. But even in death, perhaps she continued to help those who needed it. 
Perhaps she targeted by her local community because of her sexuality. What if her ghost takes it on herself to look out for the queer residents of Kippax? 
Or is her story a darker one? Some say that whoever sees the ghost of Mary Pannell will soon have a death in the family. That Mary takes out her revenge on the young sons of Kippax. When one determined mother, who has lost everything, decides to fight back, can she manage to save the town?

This Gilded Abyss

Rebecca Thorne

Enemies to... bodyguard duty?
Sergeant Nix Marr is a damn good soldier, but she's desperate to leave her haunted past in the bioluminescent ocean, buried alongside old friends... and old flames. Unfortunately, even the icy ocean can't extinguish some fires. When Kessandra, everyone's favorite princess--and Nix's loathed ex--requests Nix's help investigating a massacre in the abyssal city of Fall, Nix refuses. Vehemently.
But Kessandra always gets what she wants.
Consigned as Kessandra's bodyguard, Nix grudgingly boards a luxurious submersible that offers the only transportation to Fall. It's frustrating, irritating, how quickly Nix and Kess fall back in sync--much as she tries to fight, Nix can't deny their spark. But Kessandra wasn't truthful--surprise, surprise--and Nix quickly realizes their "investigation" isn't about the massacre, but rather what caused it: an illness that incites its victims into a violent craze.
When another royal is brutally murdered, it becomes apparent the disease has spread--and no one on the submersible is safe. Suddenly, survival hinges on trusting each other, which would be a hell of a lot easier if Kessandra didn't keep lying. Injured, fighting for their lives, Nix has to decide if she can trust Kessandra again... and what she'll lose this time.
